Wiring & Modularity

The Kraken X60 comes with full thread high-engagement #6-32 Power Terminals and #4-40 CAN Terminals providing modularity and user serviceability.

Each Kraken X60 comes with 1 set of 18” Long 10AWG Power Leads and 22AWG Twisted CAN Cables pre-crimped with ring terminals. Teams can utilize the included wires or make their own (or replace the wires over and over without ever worrying about cutting them too short).

We recommend (and include) these larger gauge power leads (10AWG) to reduce resistance, reduce voltage drop, and maximize motor performance.

DO NOT use longer screws in either location. Use of longer screws may damage the controller. The exception to this is with the use of the Kraken Powerpole Adapter board. Refer to that page for the proper length screws.
